Johnny Seven Moons finished reading Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Great October read. Combination occult horror/romance/film buff novel set in Mexico City in the 1990s. Two long-time friends on the verge of a romantic relationship unknowingly risk reviving a Nazi hierophant with a growing cult following who are developing violent magic powers
I have a bias against books I think are written to be movies, and I think a few of the action scenes turned me off personally, but the relationship between the two characters is handled deftly and the main occult-based plot is built well. The magic is well contained -- not too much hand wavy stuff,
